Foreign nationals visiting Fermilab for research, teaching or professional activities often need to obtain J-1 Exchange Visitor status. Fermilab issues letters of invitation or employment offers, and the foreign national must email their acceptance to the contact person listed in the letter.
The Visa Office sends an email with the link for the online Immigration Portal, which provides access to online questionnaires, required documents, and links to immigration-related sites. Users can upload their documents directly through the portal, display case status, and have a secure internal messaging system. It is crucial to provide information and documents promptly to avoid delays in the J-1 paperwork process.
